dollars 2 donuts

For those of you who insist they are not taking their foot off the gas, fine. However, they obviously do need to do something different out of the gate in the third quarter. Reed, the funny thing is Josh Allen is more competent this year than he was in 2018. However, with this new and improved "Not so much deep ball and less broken play rushes QB" there is a predict-ability inherent in what they are doing. I am noticing more guys in the box on D because they are less worried about 20+ yard pass plays or JA escaping and more about medium range passing and, a great back in Gore, but someone who is not going to break loose like Shady would. Again, He is better and the Bills are better on offense and sometimes they overcome good defensive play...but unless it is their cute little end around they are seemingly predictable to opponents D.

...Mom?!

Well...we do have Yeldon.

I know they are not the same teams, but I am telling you I have been on board with this for awhile and if he can just stay healthy for the rest of the year (moderate sized "if") THIS is like adding Lofton.

You're mistaken, eball. They are a Super Bowl contender and they have the best QB in the draft from last year. Start reading the national media or miss out. It's your funeral.

JW, honestly...HONESTLY, before the season starts when you know all the things that went wrong last year and then how they started to go right and then knowing that the 7th overall pick had a year under his belt, and knowing they made about 10+ moves to guys who were easily and obviously better than what they had, HOW with a straight face can Murray and the others go... Yeah, same team. Same team as last year. ???

Absolutely agree, S Dubs, but this was before we had Allen. Man, additionally he needs a line. Big advantage for him: Hopkins.

Tell that to NFL Radio's Bruce Murray who had them at 6-10 after going through every game for every team in the NFL. BTW, Winslow, did you know that the jets picked up Bell and Mosley this off season? They should be good.

Yeah, no one from Chicago or the other QB needy teams at the time raises their hand and says, "hi." According to the nationals we are the only pathetic "Billsy" team that missed that opportunity. "Pathetic loser Bills and their fans! One of the worst teams in the NFL! How can they live with their 42-42 record over the last six years...wait, what?" Sorry if slightly off topic, but it bugs me, too. Even though I wanted Mahomes.

I love Allen and i have been behind the kid since they drafted him. However, I wanted both Watson and Mahomes...not hind sight, just being honest. I thought Mahomes was a piece of Clay that you could shape being into great. Who knew that when you took the wet towel off he was already the statute of David?! GO Bills and Go Allen!!

Wow...week 3 and someone around the country realized the Bills made off season moves to improve themselves? Damn, it would have helped on some of these national prognostications for the season if they had only known that. I don't want to poo-poo on the article, but are these guys also aware that the Jets, with their stud and unstoppable QB Sam Darnold, picked up Bell and Mosley in the offeason? Shame on them if they didn't take that into consideration.

And Cage even if they say they are not taking their foot off the gas, fine, but they have to do something different...a new wrinkle when you hit the third quarter, because EVERY team has been ready for them in the third, except when Mosley went out.

It is the first time Josh Allen has been 2 games over .500 in his career (8-6) and the first time he has tied Baker Mayfield in career victories...well, since week 3 last year. ? He also has a higher winning percentage than Baker (8-9), but heck, that is old news!

I joked with with a friend that Allen would have 180 yards at halftime and 193 for the game. Truth is this is not a good trend...meaning this trend of getting 70+ percent or so of your passing yards in the first half (not accurate percentage and I didn’t check it, it just seems that way). If the bills are up by a lot and trying to clock manage I would get it, but I wouldn’t like it. However, being up by a lot has not been the case. Yes, McD, it is hard to win in this League, I get it. However, I still don’t like the way you guys handle yourselves offensively when you have an opportunity to put a team away. Winning is winning. Winning ugly is 9-7, with three field goals. This team for me today was winning sour...they dominated the Bengals at times, but couldn’t get any real distance on them and then went to sleep as well as were too cute by half in some instances and it almost cost them. It’s slightly a question of passing, but more so whether you’re trying to attack a team and go for the jugular. I don’t care what McD says, because this team DOES take its foot off the gas and it is going to get them in trouble in games where we end up going, “damn they should have had that one.” It’s those games that cost you the playoffs, not the games where you count on them to beat the Patriots. We were 0-2 against the Pats in the 2017 playoff year, but we had to sweat it out after the Miami finale because we couldn’t beat a very beatable bengals team in week 5, because...damn, they should have had that one. No matter what, though, I’ll take the 3-0 and I will especially take a 1 and 2 WR tandem that has 35 receptions through 3 games...that’s one of my takeaways. Go Bills!

I wouldn’t pick Mariotta over Josh, but I get it stat wise, but Cousins...come on now, boys, where are you coming from with this? Less than half the rushing yards, 180 or so less passing yards, and about 20% lower completion percentage. ...seriously?

It’s called The Super Mighty Pack —- it is about $10 and I do some nice human growth after one of those...and nachos.

Respectfully, Ned, I do see your point, but I agree with Logic on this and frankly I’m tired of hearing/reading and seeing this. ”Oh, they’ve won some games, but until they beat the Patriots...” ”Yeah, but don’t get too excited, let’s see how they do against New England.” Look, everybody has to beat the Patriots and few teams do. I’m tired of us being thrown over the judgment pit based upon beating the Patriots before we can be ALLOWED to enjoy our team’s success. F that. While we are at it the “not picking Mahomes” thing is worn out, too. Our franchise is currently well built, our 2nd year QB is 5-3 in his last 8 career starts and we are laughed at for passing on Mahomes, like we were the only team that didn’t pick him. Given the way the Bears are currently built why doesn’t anyone chastise them for not picking Mahomes? How many of you think Trabisky is better? Don’t tell me this is conspiracy theory rantings, it’s pathetic the way this team is treated and viewed.

Not thrilled at our guy who averages 63.5 yards on 5 carries per game is out in only his 3rd career game, but we’ll see.

Hand the patriots their only three losses of the season. Home, away, AFC championship game. It would be a record for a BB coach team.

I get what you guys are saying, LS and Sig, but I think I am going to go with Tipster on this one. a couple of years ago, when looking at the schedule I thought the Bengals game in week 5 was a must win, given the way everything played out. We lost, but still got into the playoffs. However, we needed that miracle by the bengals as we were out looking in. I believe I’m sure that Bengals win would have made the Bengals/Baltimore moot. Yes, the ravens and bills both would have had one more afc win, but I think we would still take it on tie breakers as we did. ...I don’t want any more miracle finishes or backing into the playoffs. I think it is a must win. If the don’t they must pick something else up somewhere down the line to make up for it. That something else is likely a win against the Patriots, who we haven’t beaten with Brady at the helm since 2011. I really don’t want to be in the position of we don’t HAVE to beat the Bengals but they we kind of MUST beat the Patriots. other must win games are Dolphins (2), Jets, Washington, Denver...in total that get you to 8 with the 2-0 start. They need 2 more (at least) somewhere with the Pats (2), @ Titans, Eagles, @ Cleveland, @ Dallas, Baltimore, @ Pittsburgh...and I like the odds of a pick’em in two of those games instead having to win 3 or 4 from there.

Indeed brother it does.

I know it is sinful and I am a man of faith...but I hope God gives me a little pass on this one BECAUSE I LOVES ME SOME SHADE THROWIN' ON THE "RIGHT JOSH"!

I really didn't expect the Bills, Mitch Morris and his brother to give us a "Win" on Friday, but I'll take it. ...also my memory is faulty, is Mitch Morris that guy we signed that complained about his helmet not fitting and refused to practice or was it that guy we weren't able to trade for because he laughed about coming here? I think I prefer Mitch...I think I feel more comfortable rooting for Mitch...and his brother.

I do these things simply for my HUDDLES! If you get it, buddy, I could careless who else does.

Ridgeway, one more thumping this week and I believe the SPCA is going to intervene with one of those heart breaking commercials. ...who wants to see Fitz in a cage with a tear running down his cheek? ...me neither.
